24. God Isn’t All-Powerful (and That’s the Best News You’ve Heard Today) ft. Thomas Oord

from The Bible Uncut and Unfiltered · host Colin Connor

Few doctrinal beliefs are as widely accepted as God's ability to do anything and everything, also known as omnipotence. It's even in one of the first songs children learn in church — "My God is so big, so strong, and so mighty, there's nothing my God cannot do." But what if the song got it wrong? What if there are some things God actually can't do? In this week's episode, Colin sits down with Dr. Thomas Jay Oord, author of The Death of Omnipotence and the Birth of Amipotence. Tom proposes that since God's nature is love, there are some things God could never do. And by the time they're done talking, you might just realize you already believe that too. Listen in to find out why that's not nearly as crazy as it sounds and why it's actually the best news you'll hear today!
